Epoxy Coating
Interior Pipe Coating Services
Extend the life of your plumbing with epoxy pipe coating. Pipeline Solutions Plumbing applies professional-grade epoxy coatings that seal pipes from the inside, preventing leaks and corrosion without replacement.
What Is Epoxy Pipe Coating?
Epoxy coating involves applying a thin layer of protective epoxy to pipe interiors, sealing pinholes, preventing corrosion, and extending pipe life. This is different from pipe lining (which creates a structural new pipe) and is used for different applications.
When Epoxy Coating Is the Right Solution
Ideal For:
-
Preventing future corrosion
-
Sealing minor pinholes and leaks
-
Extending life of aging pipes
-
Potable water line protection
-
Pipes showing early corrosion signs
-
Preventive treatment before major problems develop
Not Recommended For:
-
Pipes with major structural damage
-
Severe corrosion or deterioration
-
Collapsed or broken pipes
-
Pipes needing structural reinforcement
Applications:
Potable Water Lines
Coating drinking water pipes prevents:
-
Lead leaching from old pipes
-
Corrosion-related contamination
-
Pinhole leaks
-
Red water from iron corrosion
-
Copper corrosion
Drain Lines
Interior coating protects against:
-
Corrosion from waste products
-
Chemical damage
-
Early-stage deterioration
Commercial Systems
Large-scale coating projects for:
-
Multi-family buildings
-
Commercial properties
-
Industrial facilities
-
Municipal water systems
Our Epoxy Coating Process
1. Pipe Assessment
Camera inspection determines if pipes are suitable for coating.
2. Thorough Cleaning
Pipes must be completely clean for proper epoxy adhesion. We use:
-
Hydro jetting
-
Abrasive cleaning
-
Chemical cleaning if needed
3. Drying
Pipes are thoroughly dried to ensure proper epoxy adhesion.
4. Coating Application
Epoxy is applied using specialized equipment that coats the entire pipe interior evenly.
5. Curing
Epoxy cures to form a protective barrier bonded to pipe walls.
6. Quality Verification
Camera inspection verifies complete coverage and proper application.
Benefits of Epoxy Coating
Cost-Effective
Less expensive than complete pipe replacement or even structural lining.
Non-Invasive
Applied through existing access points with no excavation.
Food-Safe
Certified for potable water use, meeting NSF/ANSI 61 standards.
Corrosion Prevention
Creates barrier between pipe material and corrosive elements.
Leak Prevention
Seals minor pinholes and prevents new leaks from forming.
Improved Water Quality
Eliminates metallic taste and prevents contaminant leaching.
Fast Application
Most residential projects completed in 1-2 days.
Pipe Materials We Coat:
-
Copper pipes
-
Galvanized steel
-
Cast iron (drain lines)
-
Other metal pipes
Longevity:
Properly applied epoxy coating can extend pipe life by 20-40 years, delaying or eliminating the need for replacement.
Coating vs. Replacement:
For pipes that are structurally sound but showing early corrosion, coating provides effective protection at a fraction of replacement cost.
Residential & Commercial Services:
We provide epoxy coating for single-family homes, multi-family buildings, commercial properties, and large-scale applications.
Water Quality Testing:
For potable water applications, we can arrange pre- and post-coating water quality testing.
